“The Nreal Light is a valiant effort in the AR realm, offering 1080p per eye, 1000 nits brightness, and a tethered experience that suits either left- or right-handed users. But the $599 price will be a turnoff for many, considering the limited smartphone support and apps that lack depth.”

“Nreal has sold me on the appeal of watching TV with a pair of glasses, and I wish I could recommend buying the glasses that did it.”
